جزییات کتاب
"The James A. de Rothschild Bequest to the National Trust." [a.k.a.: a reliquary of despoilment by usurers]. Worth reading if only to find references to the property stolen in the course of various "revolutions" reputedly financed by "bankers". // 'In the doorway to the Blue Sèvres Room are two gouaches, signed by J. Beugnet, and dated 1793. They both show scenes of public rejoicing following the French Revolution.' p.49 // 'It will be seen that an effort was made, at the time of the French Revolution, to efface the French lilies on either side of the central medallion, and thereby disguise the carpet's royal provenance; a similar alteration was also made to one of the Savonnerie carpets in the Morning Room.' p.64, etc.
